Author's Point of View
When an author writes a story, they have a specific point of view that they want to convey to the reader. This point of view can be seen through the characters, the plot, and the overall message of the story. It is important for the reader to understand the author's point of view in order to fully appreciate the story.
One common point of view is the first person point of view, where the story is told from the perspective of one of the characters. This allows the reader to get inside the character's head and understand their thoughts and feelings. Another point of view is the third person point of view, where the story is told from an outside perspective. This allows the reader to see the story from a more objective viewpoint.
Ultimately, the author's point of view is what shapes the story and gives it meaning. It is up to the reader to interpret the story based on the author's point of view and come to their own conclusions about the message of the story.

The discovery of a wild coyote in late 1997 in the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle should come as a wake-up call. The United States has a serious coyote problem! From their traditional enclaves in the western desert, these opportunistic canines have now invaded the entire continental United States. They have taken over parks, farms, vacant lots, and now perhaps the downtown areas of major cities. Homeowners report losing cats and dogs to the beasts, and young children are under attack. Enough is enough. Since humans are the only natural enemy of coyotes, we demand that state and federal agencies institute coyote trapping programs. That is the only way to decrease the number of coyotes to a manageable level.
